in 1971, the federal minimum wage was $1.60 an hour.
40 hours of work = $64
at the official $35/oz gold price, that was about 1.83 ounces of gold.
today, 1.83 ounces of gold is worth roughly $7,900.
to earn $7,900 in a single 40-hour workweek today, you’d need to make about $198/hour.
$1.60/hour then.
~$198/hour today.
measured in gold.
let that sink in.
